      <p>In previous releases, applications calling the <a href="../api_reference/C/dbverify.html" class="olink">DB-&gt;verify()</a> method had
to explicitly discard the <a href="../api_reference/C/db.html" class="olink">DB</a> handle by calling the
<a href="../api_reference/C/dbclose.html" class="olink">DB-&gt;close()</a> method. Further, using the <a href="../api_reference/C/db.html" class="olink">DB</a> handle in other ways
after calling the <a href="../api_reference/C/dbverify.html" class="olink">DB-&gt;verify()</a> method was not prohibited by the
documentation, although such use was likely to lead to problems.</p>
      <p>For consistency with other Berkeley DB methods, <a href="../api_reference/C/dbverify.html" class="olink">DB-&gt;verify()</a> method has been
documented in the current release as a <a href="../api_reference/C/db.html" class="olink">DB</a> handle destructor.
Applications using the <a href="../api_reference/C/db.html" class="olink">DB</a> handle in any way (including calling
the <a href="../api_reference/C/dbclose.html" class="olink">DB-&gt;close()</a> method) after calling <a href="../api_reference/C/dbverify.html" class="olink">DB-&gt;verify()</a> should be
updated to make no further use of any kind of the <a href="../api_reference/C/db.html" class="olink">DB</a> handle
after <a href="../api_reference/C/dbverify.html" class="olink">DB-&gt;verify()</a> returns.</p>
